It’s official!

On Oct. 9, Pittsburgh rap duo Kipp-E & Klyental will add another milestone to their resume when they open for the legendary Bone Thugs-n-Harmony at the Mr. Smalls Theater in Millvale, Pa.

You can probably still do those steps. You need to find those LPs you’ve got stored in the basement. You need to hear that tune again.

In the new book “Thriller: The Musical Life of Michael Jackson” by Nelson George, you’ll learn about that song and the album that smashed (and still holds) world records nearly 30 years after its release.
